MODULAR SCALABLE COOLANT DISTRIBUTION UNIT - An equipment cooling system and method employing modular scalable coolant distribution units that interface with each other to provide liquid cooling for computer data centers. The coolant distribution unit (CDU) permits the use of elevated water temperatures without increasing the load on the computer room air conditioning. A control unit processes environment data to control pump and valve components supporting redundancy and multiple primary and secondary coolant loops.

REAR DOOR HEAT EXCHANGER TRANSITION FRAME - A transition frame system integrates a liquid cooling door with associated computer equipment racks. Dissimilar dimensions of equipment racks and cooling doors are accommodated by a transition frame. The frame has a top, bottom, first side, and a second side; each providing a rack face opposing a door face. The frame may be one piece. The rack face includes a means for mating/sealing with the rack and the door face includes a means for mating/sealing with a cooling door that may include replacement hinges and latches. The transition frame can be included as part of the rack or the door. Cooling of equipment in the rack is maintained through airflow through the cooling door.
